Psychologist: We asked 100 entrepreneurs and 100 business managers to answer various questions and rate how confident they were that their responses were correct. █████ ███████ ██ ████ █████ ████ ██████████████ ██ ███████ ███ █████████████ ████ ████ ████ ██ ████ ███ ████████ █████████ ████ █████████ ████ ██████ ███ ███ ██████████ █████████████ ███ ████ ██████ ██ ███████ ██ █████ █ ████████ ██ █████ ██ ███ ████████ ████ ███████ ███████ ████ ██████ ███ ███ ████ ██████████
The psychologist concludes that people who are very overconfident are more likely to attempt to start businesses than people who aren’t as overconfident. This is because, according to a study, entrepreneurs are likely to be more overconfident than business managers are.
The psychologist assumes that overconfidence makes it more likely that someone becomes an entrepreneur, rather than that being an entrepreneur makes it more likely for someone to be overconfident. In other words, they could become overconfident after attempting to start a business, not before. The conclusion also assumes that the group of business managers stands in for "people who are less likely to attempt to start businesses", even though being a business manager doesn't necessarily stop someone from attempting to start their own business.
